After yesterday's Trumpian vow to burn down the Earth and all who live there, Germany's Greenpeace office responded by projecting the above image onto the US embassy.

Man, those projectors are gonna get a workout in the years to come. Who'd have thought it?

Greenpeace Germany also came up with their own way of expressing disapproval, employing Trump’s own rhetorical style and love of Twitter. On Friday the environmental advocacy group projected onto the US embassy in Berlin a silhouette image of the American president with the words “#TotalLoser, so sad!”
